-Present, April 4th-

Ryobo's POV ❄️

It has been by a year since what happened to me on Valentine's Day, but this year...I'm sure it'll be different.

Because, now, I've turned over a new leaf and found someone else that I have secretly fallen in love with again.

His name is Gadget and I have deep feelings for him.

Surprisingly, Gadget's a wolf, just like I am.

Unfortunately, there's someone else who also has a crush on him too.

He's a jackal with heterochromia eyes, and his name is Zero.

Ever since I've laid my eyes on Gadget, I couldn't help but sigh, feeling so warm and happy.

Like Gadget had made me feel...complete.

The moment I felt like this, I knew I immediately fell in love with him.

He just looked so innocent, cute, nice, caring and very gentle.

Not only that, but, he's pretty smart too.

Just like I am.

But, sadly, I feel too shy to approach him so we can get to know each other and create a bond.

And I also kept denying the fact that I'm in love with him because I knew he likes Zero and they are really close and I didn't want to interfere in their relationship.

I'm just that kind of person, even though I understand whatever it is that either Gadget and Zero would say.

Disappointed that I can't do anything to even try to win Gadget's heart, let alone the fact I didn't want to interfere and was too shy to come up to him and say something, I walked away and went to bed to take a small nap.

Feeling upset at myself.

As I was in the bed, I started wondering how am I gonna get Gadget's attention and actually talk to him.

Without thinking about anything else after that, I sighed and dozed off, sleeping peacefully like an angel.

-Hours Later-

Gadget's POV ⚙️

I smiled and started to laugh a little as me and Zero left the cherry blossom tree, happy that we went over there and had a picnic.

Zero could easily tell I enjoyed it because he was smiling a tiny bit.

Ever since we both met and became close friends, me or Zero would go to the cherry tree a lot and hang out over there, since it was our favorite spot.

Part of it is because we were mesmerized by it's lack of beauty and the other half is because this was where we first met and became friends.

But, lately, I'm starting to wonder if this is an illusion or not because Zero has been blushing and showing a little bit more of affection lately.

It's been getting to the point to where I'm starting to wonder if he has a crush on me.

And, not only has things been getting strange, but I kept noticing an albino wolf who looks so much like me but has Zero's eyes.

I've seen him every day in the halls, and if he bumped into me by accident, he would start blushing hard in embarrassment and apologize before running off with his face covered in his hands.

I have kept attempting to ask for his name but I fail to do so and he just keeps running off from me, still blushing like he's always had been.

Something's telling me that he's really shy and has a crush on me too.

Because, when I spied on him a bit, that wolf never acted the same way that he did right in front of me.

He looked confident when interacting with the others and he didn't blush not one bit.

I've seen him blush a little a few times when talking to somebody because they were teasing him when it comes to relationship topics.

Asking him who is he secretly crushing on.
